As a historian, I have been torturing myself by watching some of the series that the White House in cooperation with Hillsdale College produced about American Independence (tellingly, they avoid the word "revolution").

On this side of the Sierras, the snow line is down to about midway on the foothills. Weirdly, not a lot of snow up at Lake Tahoe.

More rain this morning. Hard right now. I hope, if there isn't rain over the weekend, that it clears up enough for me to see how much snow was dropped on the mountains. I wonder how low the snowline dropped.
